Can I Register If I’m A Student Or Living Away From Home?

AI Summary

Yes — if you’re a student and split your time between two addresses, Rotherham says you can register at both as long as they’re in different local authority areas. If you don’t have a fixed address, you can still register, but not online.

Situation Can you register? Notes
Student with a home address and a term-time address Yes You can register at both addresses if they are not in the same local authority area.
Voting at local elections Yes, at both addresses You can vote in both places.
Voting at national elections Yes, but only in one place You must choose one place; voting in more than one place is a criminal offence.
No fixed address Yes Rotherham can still register you, but online registration isn’t available.

If you don’t have a fixed address, contact Electoral Services by email at electoral.services@rotherham.gov.uk or by phone on 01709 823590. If you want to register normally, you can use the Register to vote on the GOV.UK website.
